4/2/14 9:52 AM EDT

CNN, PBS, Al Jazeera America, NPR and Netflix were among those honored with Peabody Awards on Wednesday, while The Guardian dominated the British Press Awards presented Tuesday night in London.

The 46 recipients of the Peabody for excellence in electronic media were announced today on "CBS This Morning." Among them: CNN for Anthony Bourdain's "Parts Unknown" series, Al Jazeera America for a piece on cholera in Haiti, NPR for Michelle Norris' "The Race Card" project, and Netflix for "House of Cards" and "Orange is the New Black." CBS was honored for its sit-down interview with Syrian President Bashar Assad, and Boston CBS station WBZ-TV and WBZ Newsradio for their coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings last year. A complete list of winners can be found here.

Meanwhile, The Guardian UK dominated the British Press Awards presented on Tuesday, winning the Newspaper of the Year Award for its coverage of the information leaked by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.

The Press Award judges said The Guardian "broke a story of global significance that went to the heart of the debate on press freedom. The fact that the coverage polarised opinion even within the press showed how important it was."

The Guardian is considered by many to be in line, along with The Washington Post, for a Pulitzer Prize. But as Dylan Byers reported last month, Snowden is looming over these prizes as the judges have to decide whether to recognize a story that likely harmed U.S. national security interests but was arguably the most significant story of the year, or to play it safe. The Pulitzers will be awarded on April 14.
